Conservatives have taken away access to life-saving health care. But Cheney, herself a lifelong conservative, joins Harris in calling on women across the country now facing these draconian restrictions to take back some freedoms. Because right now, both Harris and Cheney know that our reality is only a small part of what lies ahead if Trump wins.

At this moment, women are forced to bleed out in parking lots, give birth to unviable pregnancies, and even risk death because Trump is overturning Roe.

It's hard to believe, but it could get worse. We are in a moment when a former president is saying out loud what he will do and setting the record straight about using our nation's military to go after his political opponents or anyone he doesn't like.

Here we see Trump calling January 6th “a day of love,” and you can see that sentiment reflected on pro-Trump television networks. I fear that Americans will not believe that the riot in the nation's capital was anything at all.

This is the fascism that is happening before our eyes. We have a cult-like leader with a giant megaphone who repeats things over and over until they appear to be true. This is the most dangerous game ever played by a presidential candidate or politician in modern American history.

What gives me hope are the two smart, competent and experienced women who know their worth and will put everything aside to try to preserve and protect what many people simply cannot understand.

Freedom should be comfortable. We shouldn't have to worry about that. And yet perhaps we have become too comfortable. The concept is too turned on its head. We have become blasé about our own history. We are a nation of immigrants, like my parents, who fled Hitler and fled their countries to eventually come here to America to rebuild and be a part of our democracy.

Harris and Cheney are fighting for tomorrow. And when that comes tomorrow, they will be at the forefront of ensuring that America never stands on such a cliff again.
